Food Assistance: The Legacy of New Deal Policy Choices -- Epilogue -- Acknowledgments to the 2014 Edition -- Sources -- Notes -- IndexAt no time during the Great Depression was the contradiction between agriculture surplus and widespread hunger more wrenchingly graphic than in the government's attempt to raise pork prices through the mass slaughter of miliions of "unripe" little pigs. This contradiction was widely perceived as a "paradox." In fact, as Janet Poppendieck makes clear in this newly expanded and updated volume, it was a normal, predictable working of an economic system rendered extreme by the Depression. The notion of paradox, however, captured the imagination of the public and policy makers, and it was to this definition of the problem that surplus commodities distribution programs in the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations were addressed. This book explains in readable narrative how the New Deal food assistance effort, originally conceived as a relief measure for poor people, became a program designed to raise the incomes of commercial farmers. In a broader sense, the book explains how the New Deal years were formative for food assistance in subsequent administrations; it also examines the performance--or lack of performance--of subsequent in-kind relief programs. Beginning with a brief survey of the history of the American farmer before the depression and the impact of the Depression on farmers, the author describes the development of Hoover assistance programs and the events at the end of that administration that shaped the "historical moment" seized by the early New Deal. Poppendieck goes on to analyze the food assistance policies and programs of the Roosevelt years, the particular series of events that culminated in the decision to purchase surplus agriculture products and distribute them to the poor, the institutionalization of this approach, the resutls achieved, and the interest groups formed. The book also looks at the takeover of food assistance by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its gradual adaptation for use as a tool in the maintenance of farm income. Utliizing a wide variety of official and unofficial sources, the author reveals with unusual clarity the evolution from a policy directly responsive to the poor to a policy serving mainly democratic needs.Food reliefUnited StatesHistoryDepressions1929United StatesAgriculture and stateUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.Food reliefHistory.DepressionsAgriculture and stateHistory.363.8830973Poppendieck Janet1026169Nestle MarionMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458064103321Breadlines knee deep in wheat2440939UNINA03363oam 2200553I 450 991054769680332120241120175155.01-4822-5757-21-315-37234-71-315-35509-410.1201/9781315372341 (CKB)3710000000856803(MiAaPQ)EBC4683356(OCoLC)958377864(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/78437(ODN)ODN0004026691(EXLCZ)99371000000085680320180331h20172017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierGround improvement by deep vibratory methods /Klaus Kirsch, Fabian KirschSecond edition.Taylor & Francis2017Boca Raton :CRC Press,[2017]©20171 online resource (253 pages) illustrations1-4822-5756-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.1. An overview of deep soil improvement by vibratory methods -- 2. A history of vibratory deep compaction -- 3. Vibro compaction of granular soils -- 4. Improvement of fine-grained and cohesive soils by vibro replacement stone columns -- 5. Method variations and related processes -- 6. Environmental considerations -- 7. Contractual matters.Vibro compaction and vibro stone columns are the two dynamic methods of soil improvement most commonly used worldwide. These methods have been developed over almost eighty years and are now of unrivalled importance as modern foundation measures. Vibro compaction works on granular soils by densification, and vibro stone columns are used to displace and reinforce fine-grained and cohesive soils by introducing inert material. This second edition includes also a chapter on vibro concrete columns constructed with almost identical depth vibrators. These small diameter concrete piles are increasingly used as ground improvement methods for moderately loaded large spread foundations, although the original soil characteristics are only marginally improved. This practical guide for professional geotechnical engineers and graduate students systematically covers the theoretical basis and design principles behind the methods, the equipment used during their execution, and state of the art procedures for quality assurance and data acquisition. All the chapters are updated in line with recent developments and improvements in the methods and equipment. Fresh case studies from around the world illustrate the wide range of possible applications. The book concludes with variations to methods, evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of the methods, and gives contractual guidance.Soil stabilizationVibratory compactingFoundationsSoil stabilization.Vibratory compacting.Foundations.624.151363TEC005000TEC009020TEC009150bisacshKirsch Klaus524550Kirsch FabianFlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910547696803321Ground improvement by deep vibratory methods2788109UNINA
